The following is a blog post explaining how one can run lxc on Android:

For those unfamiliar with LXC, it can kinda be used like a virtual machine but with less resources. Currently there is a limitation that it can run only on linux flavors with the correct kernel and mac with less resources.

Docker is program that simplifies using LXC for containerization. (It was started using only LXC as its backend, but now there is support for more backends.) It has a simple, visual explanation of the difference between Virtaul Machines and containers on the following page:

If you haven't already done so, do a search to see if there are any LXC threads on XDA. If not, that would be an indication of how many people have trod this path in advance of your post.

But all is not lost. Simply go to the android development subforum and have a look at the custom kernel threads. That should point you to their git sources where you can copy the kernel configuration details. Then you can use lxc -checkconfig to determine if the kernel in question supports LXC.

Would a kernel developer know if his kernel supports LXC? Probably. But there is no reason to believe that each kernel developer reads every question in the Q&A forum every day and has the time to reply as well.

So it would only make sense to guess how many forum members in total have talked about LXC in the past. There are 6 million members and 51,880,999 posts here.

123 posts in 51,880,999.. means that only 0.00024% - two posts in a million touched upon your subject. That is the very definition of esoteric. Given that the subject is so rare, the most reasonable thing to have done would have been to search the forum for existing threads before posting a question.

XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.Are you a developer?
